Rsync-Job on Bootup

Have a Server here and a second machine on a QNap Nas either with omv 3. Set it up to backup from Server -> Nas after the tutorial here. Is it possible that I set up the Nas so, that it starts the rsync job on boot-time? Similar to usbbackup?

BTW, how is the performance of a remote rsync-Job compared to usbbackup on a external usb 3.0 Disk? How can I mesure it?

Hi Micha, I think you know how rsync works? It's an incremental backup. So only this files that has been changed will be copied. The first backup will take some time and after that you could schedule a task that rsync is running every xx minutes. So if changes happens to one machine the other get this changes a little bit later. But you do not have to copy the entire storage. If your usb disk is mounted to your system you could even rsync to the disk.

One thing to measure the traffic of your nas is to check the OID of your NIC with Nagios, Prtg or some other monitoring tool.

now I understand, what you want. You want that the nas is pulling the data to it, after it has finished it's starting process. I haven't tried that. My clients sends a Wake on LAN-Paket to the NAS and then push the data via a rsync-Job. Another job on my nas is sending it to hybernation / standby, when there is an idle time of 20 minutes.

By now i'm familiar with your approach to do it timed every hour ... will hava a look at the start scripts but only copying the folder which representsthe shares (with me it is as a source 192.168.178.10:/media/data/ and as a target /srv/dev-disk-by-id-ata-ST8000VN0022-2EL112_ZA15S72D-part3/backup

so it have to bee:
rsync -avv 192.168.178.10:/media/data/ /srv/dev-disk-by-id-ata-ST8000VN0022-2EL112_ZA15S72D-part3/backup/
